Allen Park — It's been well-documented how many former players the Detroit Lions have on the coaching staff. On the Wednesday before the season opener, the team added another.
Two weeks after the team cut linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton, he's back with the Lions in a defensive coaching role.
A waiver claim in Jan. 2021, Hamilton never played in a regular-season game with the Lions after suffering a season-ending injury during training camp last year. A sixth-round draft pick out of Alabama in 2018, he concludes his playing career having appeared in 46 games, all for the Washington Commanders.
